Lol. Obviously it's subjective but his numbers don't lie. From a kid even in death. James Brown, heavily influenced MJ, and I love James Brown, he's just not my era.
It seems you have people outside this list. I'd like to hear who in your opinion is.
Prince.... A guy that wrote absolute hits for others. A guy that came out of nowhere playing all the instruments without Quincy Jones fixing his songs.
Bon Scott, Winehouse, Cobain are not remotely in the discussion. That's just embarrassing.
